Incredible concourses too. Tons of space, easy to navigate, quick in and out for beer/food.
It's right up there with PNC as my favorite ballparks. Great American is sneaky awesome too.
My sneaky awesome ballpark is Cleveland. I think I liked it more than Camden Yards.
Making my call now. They've decided Shaw is playing well enough to stand pat at 3rd, not wanting to stunt his confidence/development. They push all their chips in for a big package for Gore.
It's a pipe dream, I know.

Good call. Maybe the best beer set up in all of sports.
I thought Camden Yards was.....fine? I get that it was the first of the retro parks but it's certainly not the best IMO.
I'm good with it. There have been frustrating aspects to the team's construction but more often than not he's made good moves. I'd rather he go into the deadline with certainty about his job security.
I saw Jesse Rogers saying Happ to the IL, Suzuki to left and Ballestareos coming up to be the primary DH and will be in the lineup tonight. Is that current or from his first stint up?
I kinda wished they see how the post-deadline stretch played out before extending Hoyer. I see both sides of the arguement why to do it now too but what if the trade deadline is a failure and this team stumbles through the late stretch of the season? Hoyer has made enough mistakes on how he's constructed and managed the roster in the prior seasons he earned the lame duck status coming into this season. I'm still skeptical on his ability to run things so I hope he proves me wrong.
You couldn't have Hoyer making big time decisions in the next few days that will greatly impact the future if he wasn't going to be here for it. Just an extension you had to make.
The problem is the Ricketts family choosing not to use their enormous market advantage and not so much Hoyer. His record on trades and mid-level acquisitions is pretty strong, he can't make Nickels open up the check book...
